Subject: mailman: AvoidDuplicates handler incorrect header rewrite
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2009 14:59:26 +0100
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.9-7
Severity: normal


AvoidDuplicates mailman Handler rewrites the following header:

CC: [email protected], name1
 name2 <[email protected]>

into

Cc: name2 <[email protected]>, name1, [email protected]

This is incorrect because name1 becomes an address. The problem seems to
be in the older version of python email module shipped with mailmain in
/usr/lib/mailman/pythonlib/email. Attached is a backported patch from
python2.5 that fixes this.
